4 Counterfeit $500 Bill.

As an example of slight differences be-
tween the spurious bills and the genuine
as TO tax to its utmost even practiced
eye, the following description of a coun-
terfeit $500 is cited:
"Upquestionably one Of the most dam
gerous counterfeits in existence. The
engraving and workmanship nearly equal
TO the genuine: the lathe work is excel
lent, numbering of the work fair and
color good. The star on the right Of the
treasury number is somewhat blurred.
The portrait of j. Q. Adams is excellent,
but the lobe Of the ear is very indiStinct.
In the counterfeit, the button upon the
coat nearest the lapel is almost square
in the genuine il is round. The vignette
of the figure Of Justice is finely engraved
with the exception Of the following points:
As the scale is held aloft in the left hand
the upright holding the beam is crooked,
and is larger in the counterfeit than in
the cenuine-in the genuine the upright
shows only TO the lower part of the hand,
while in the counterfeit il shows to the
second finger from the base; the white
curve III lnt uiIh u u INiittt tsd III lhc
genuine, while in the counterfeit Il is not
The left foot of the vignette, as Il extends
from the garment, presents clubbed ap-
pearance in the counterfeit, while the
toes are short and not half the length Of
the genuine. The parallel ruling is ex-
cellent; the note is printed ON fiber paper,
and is signed John Allison, Register, and
F. Z. Spinner, Treasurer. Bankers and
others should receive these notes with
great care, as it is only by a compare
son with the genuine that the majority
of experts can positively decide as to the
genuineness Of a note of this class.
No one will doubt the last statement in
the above description. When the ques-
tion as TO whether you have $500 in your
pocket. or fifty cent chrome, depends
on the somewhat distinctneSs of star,
the shape Of a button, or the indistinct-
ness of an ear. matters are being drawn

Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.


The original Of this is written upon
common official paper, and is in the hand
Of President Lincoln, save the second
and third paragraphs, which are printed.
The printed paragraphs were cut from
the previous proclamation of Sept. %,
and pasted upon the sheet by Mr.. Lin
coin himself, to save the labor Of writing
them. The attest is in the hand of
Secretary Seward-a handwriting not
greatly unlike that Of the president, only
that it is larger and rather more regular.
When the secretary of state started to
pen the attest there appears to have been
a raveling in his pen, for as far as the
sixth word, "hereunto, the lines are
heavy and partly blurred. Tie signature
of the president is more tremulous than
the body of the document. and ap-
pears poor as a specimen Of chirography
among the straight lines Of Mr.. Seward s
firm hand. The tremulousness was due.
not to nervousness, hut to the fact that
Mr.. Lincoln signed the proclamation on
New Years day, after having shaken
hands with several hundred people.
BY a singular incident there really
exists today two original copies of the
emancipation proclamation. The Incl
dent consists IN the fact that Mr.. Lin
coin. at the request of the British
museum. made. with his own hand, a
second copy of his great paper. This is
unlike that preserved at Washington, in
that the attest is filled out by hand not
that of either the president or the secre-
tary Of state. The paper used was an
unfolded parchment about twenty-four
by thirty-six inches. 1t is now elegantly
framed and may he seen hanging in one
